Roanoke VA XJ'rs - help a brotha out?

[FitchVA]

welp, after savin up and getting my bouns and tax returns, i'm ready to take the plunge and lift my xj. i'm going with the re 6130 w/ a few upgrades. there are a few problems though -

#1 - i live in an apt that's picky about wrenching on rigs in the parking lot
#2 - i have only basic tools for regular maintenance (not even jackstands)
#3 - no real first hand experience installing a lift but i'm eager to get my hands dirty and learn

i was wondering if anybody close by that knows what they're doing around a xj would be willing to give my xj a spot to squat as well as help install the lift? i'd of course provide all needed refreshments :cheers: . maybe it would be a cool time to have a local meet-n-greet? :dunno:

I'm not near Roanoke, but if you don't
find anyone else, you can make a little 4 hour drive up here to the Martinsburg, WV/Hagerstown, MD area sometime. We've done a few lifts and are always ready for an excuse for some more wrenching and to help another member out. By the way...Cinderblocks make the best jack stands.
Look around a little more for someone in your area, then we'll set something up if need be.

biovore, thanks for the offer. but where i'm gonna have to wait a week or so for my new driveshaft after my sye kit, i'd be worried about putting that many miles on my front axle only. but thanks

xjgrl, i'll have to look into it. i'm a vt alum (graduated '01). i've got a friend that knows one of the SWVA4W members. i think i'm gonna ask him cause he's a little more local. but thanks so far for all the help. if anyone else is willing and able, i'm still lookin for help

If you are in Maryland you should try A1 Driveshafts. They are in Baltimore and could possibly make you a shaft the same day. Just something to think about. I'd call them and find out first.
